PRIZE WINNERS.
The Grand Drawing It Sa.ds 1 Boyoe's
Store 81, 900 Numbers to
Choose From.

The Sands & Boyce drawing came of last
evening at their store at 8 O'Clock. Alarge
crowd OF people were in attendance, assem-
bled in the western portion Of the store,
WHICH was nearly full. Colonel Bradshaw
mounted the platform behind the wheel in
which the numbers were held and made the
announcement to the crowd of the condi-
tions Of the drawing. They were in effect
that the wheel contained between "a, 900
and 35 900 tickets, which were duplicates
of those given to every customer of Sands
4 Boyce for every dollars worth OF goods
bought there since the 1st of January last.
The arrangement now was that the party
selected to draw should draw forty-nine
cards and the holder of the number upon
the fiftieth card should take the first pr.ze.
The drawing would then be resumed
and the holder of the number upon the
seventy fifth card should take second prize,
and then the drawing would 60 on until the
one hundredth number was reached, which
would take the third prize, and that then
three more cards would be drawn and the
holder of the hundred and third card
would take the fourth prize. As published
heretofore the first prize was beaver
trimmed overcoat valued at SIS; the Sec
ond an elegant dress suit valued at $50;
the third moquette velvet carpet with
border. valued at $50, and the fourth q
satin rhadame dress pattern OF twenty
yards. valued at $50. The committee to
see to the squareness OF the drawing con-
sisted of Colonel Bradshaw, Capt ain Lloyd,
George Duffey and Guy x. Piatt. Announce
ment was also made by Colonel Bradshaw
that the holder Of the lucky number draw
s~~ hol do ~
which to present his or her ticket,
after which the holder of the second
prize would have first choice.
Miss Ella Sheehan, a little girl selected
from the audience, was then placed behind
the wheel, blindfolded, and the drawing
amid the breathless silence OF
the audience. The tickets came out in one.
two, three order until the twenty fifth
ticket was drawn when the wheel was given
a whirl. which was repeated after the forty
ninth ticket came forth. Then with the
fiftieth ticket came the first prize, No.
9, ,442. Examine your tickets "Don't
all call at once" and similar remarks were
banded about. The number was emphat-
ically repeated three times, but nobody
the drawing was resumed with q
whirl of the wheel. Slowly the
tickets came out until the seventy fourth
turn, when another whirl was folio y ed by
the drawing forth OF the seventy fifth
ticket. whose number was announced as
25 .468. No one claiming to hold the prize,
the drawing was resumed until ninety mine |
tickets had been extracted from the wheel,
and another whirl rlgiven it. The hundredth
ticket called for No. 43 837 without any
claimant. The wheel was turned once
more and then three tickets were taken |
,ut, the third OF which callel for number |
',644. This ended the drawing and the |
:rowd then slowly dispersed, all present |
atisfied they had no interest in the
prizes.

Sioux Cry, March 31.-A report at noon
that the States case was ended for the
time and that the defense would begin with
its evidence in the afternoon, added fresh
interest to the proceedings but would add
no greater number to the packed court
room.
Policeman VIM. A. Smith, testified that
he saw Bismarck on the night of the 3Oth
at the corner OF Douglass and Fourth
streets drunk and told him to go home.
This was about midnight and after the
killing of Haddock.
Adolph Metz was the next witness, and
testified that he met Bismarck about 9
O'Clock, August Sd, as he (Bismarck) was
coming out of Her,nan's saloon. He next
saw Bismarck at O'Clock in the morning
very drunk on the sidewalk near his resi-.
dence, where he remained about an hour.
He saw him again at o o'clock in the morn
ing, when he was partially sobered up. He
said be had not been home that night. The
witness was cross-examined, but nothing of
special interest was developed.
VIM. Metz father of the last witness, tes-
titled that Bismarck asked for admittance
at his house at very early hour on the
morning OF the 4th of August
Oscar Bridewell, policeman, was next
sworn. He testified that he saw Bismarck
at 10: 80 O'Clock on the night OF August
at the corner OF Fourth and Douglass
streets; that he saw witness on the scene OF
the killing which happened about twenty
minutes after 10. 1twas shortly after this
when he ordered Bismarck, who was very
drunk, to go home.
George Rice testified that on August l he
tried to employ Bismarck to assist him in
digging well; that he offered him So dav.
but he refused, saying that he and Trieber
could make more money doing up preachers.
He saw him at his place about II O'Clock
Sunday morning, prior o the shooting. At
that time he said that he and Trieber
could make more money doing up lawyers
and preachers than digging wells, but did
not say any thing about killing preachers
Bismarck was then recalled and denied
all the statements made by Rice, except
that Rice called at his house on Sunday.
Rice was then cross-examined, but his
evidence was not shaken.
VIM. Deersom said that on the night of
the murder he went to Arensdorf for Mrs.
Leavitt, and told her about the killing.
She remarked. Good; l am glad the -
--- is killed" When Leavitt entered
witness room on the night of shooting, he
had NO coat or hat on.
Fatt Franciscus testified to the bad
character OF Bismarck. He also knew
Leavitt and saw him August 8 when he
said: These fellows want to whip the
preachers, but am not in favor OF that.

The jury brought in a verdict of guilty on

A Detectlve's Labor

Very few people have any idea Of the
amount OF work performed in the Adams
Express robbery case. As part of my own
share in it examined 5000 different speci-
mems OF penmanship. Just imagine the
patient poring over and the close scrutiny of
this vast amount of scribbling. Imagine the
prylng around in all sorts of places and the
work OF overhauling the immense amount of
al kinds OF rubbish in the search, in out of
the way places, for the possibly hidden treas
ure, and the long distance trips by rail to re-
mote places by day and night in search Of
some trace, or following up q clew.-Detec.

It may be that the law exacting a license
from drummers in Montana will not hold
water before the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and it is probable belief in
this proposition that test case has been
inaugurated in Helena. But the fact stands
out that it is only just that drummers
should pay such license to sell goods in the
Territory, as the laws impose upon our
own merchants.

New YoRK, March 31.-The Mail and Ex-

the Union Pacific stockholders, has not yet
been signed and it has yet to be perfected.
President Elijah Smith is reported as anx-

assured six per cent for ninety-nine years.

The report that the Oregon Navigation
